Does anyone know if your lone parent benefits; Income support, housing benefit, council tax benefit etc are affected at all when you start Fostering for a private agency and if so how much this is? Just so i know what my income will be so i can budget.
Thanks

    I believe the rules for fostering through a private agency are different from fostering through the local authority.

    You should contact the relevant departments to find out how/if your benefits will be affected.
